Art Journal: Be Original with Shari Carroll
Happy Tuesday everyone!
I’m sharing an art journal page I created using the Dina Wakley Media Boards. To start off, I used Tim Holtz Grit Paste to add some texture then played with acrylic paints to get a watercolor effect. By using paints as your base you can use other mediums on top without fear of your colors running or moving.
Once I had my background texture and color in place, I used some paste through a stencil to add more dimension. The stenciled image breaks up the background with the addition of white and additional texture.
I finished off my design by stamping a couple of flowers which I painted with diluted acrylic paint and then I added a few Small Talk message strips. I love the overall look of this entry with it’s vibrant watercolor effect which flows in and around the texture.
I have filmed a full process video that you can view below or on our YouTube channel HERE.
